So, do I go to femmeconne this year?

[stephbg]

At last year's femmeconne I met and connected with old friends, got to know some people better and met some bright new shiny people. That was great.



There were some confrontational aspects to the program (or lack of program), and times where I just couldn't fit in. I lurked on the fringes too much, which made me a little sad. Too many bad memories of childhood camps. I like to hang and chat, really, but it's hard to get into the mode. The screaming children thing is an issue I can't ignore.

This year if I go I will need to self cater, which is no biggie, but if I don't stay overnight and drive there and back at least twice, the costs look quite significant.

But I know that if I do go it will be a great experience and I'll be unlikely to regret it.

What are people thinking? How are you making your choices?

What's my deadline?

Ahh. Hmm. *has flashbacks to feeling weird during girly bonding moments in highschool* Well, I guess I can go off with my laptop during those moments too!

Also: is that what you meant about things being too "confronting"? I just want to know what I'm getting into :)

I've been meaning to reply sensibly to this but it's a bit tricky. Might need a whole post. It's related to the excess of niceness.

Fair enough.
